The war has started. Sides have been taken, lots have been cast. The future of the Calidian Empire and the very stability of the world hang in balance. The odds are against Macien and his allies, as Silious and his forces have had time to prepare. The results of their preparation will be devastating; swift victory is anticipated. Macien will need to do whatever he can to keep it all together, and he may be the only one who is capable of doing just that. In the capitol, Eventus and Flaccus are caught up even further in the deadly conspiracy that will rock the Empire to its core. A young Dutrigian Commander will be in charge of a small force that stands between an ancient menacing foe and the annihilation of his people. The Sentinel Torbock and his young partner, Jacean, are given a near impossible mission that may determine the fate of the war, and perhaps the entire Empire. Guardsman Cometa has a score to settle and needs a chance at redemption. Lieutenant Elknaut has to overcome some hurdles in order to become the military officer he feels he is destined to be. The Empress must take an unprecedented role for a woman, and rise to the expectations her father always had for her. Prophecies, both true and false, swirl in the air like a mist. When it all settles, things will never be the same...for better or worse. This book picks up right where End of Empire 1: The Eagle and The Owl left off, and it promises to pick up speed at a feverish pace as everything starts to unravel. New characters add a different element to the narrative, as old ones continue down their paths. New locales are visited, and the action really picks up.
